There was a good head of fish up on the spawning reds up the glens this winter but I would imagine they will be all washed out and we will see the effects of this in seasons 2019-20

Fifa sake Mik that's worse than terrible. Hope everyone get,s through it ok. Brother from Langholm has just told me that they are flooded out and if you look on the map that should not be possible. Good luck.

Jesus Christ pal, that's bad.....looking at the lodge it's hard for lads to tell just how bad that is unless you have been there and that there is frightening pal.

 

We are lucky as like you we are up pretty high but below me in the Shannon areas they are having it real bad.
